    I usually see it for a boy but it really can go for both. I like it for a girl though. It would be unique. :)

    This is a rare name that I prefer more y's. I like it spelled Sydney. It isn't on my list but it isn't a bad name IMO.

    I like it, but spelled Sydney. I have never heard this name on boy (other than the actor Sidney Poitier) & know a few girls/women named Sydney (ranging in age from 3 to 30).

     I personally love it, but I like the more unisex names for girls.  :)

    Sydney is okay for a girl.  But it is not as pretty as Ava to me which would be a problem in my world.  Cause Ava is a very pretty name Sydney is just an okay name.

    dislike.

    it doesn't really roll off the tongue either - the "dn" is kind of awkward to pronounce.

    Wow... I heard this board was harsh but I never imagined it this harsh.... I think Sidney is a beautiful name, and I have actually never met a boy with that name in the last 10 years I have worked with children.

    OP asked for opinions and was given just that.

    And Sydney is the traditional spelling for a girl.

    I've always been a fan of Sydney (spelled like this) for a girl.

    I like this name, although I like it spelled Sydney for a girl (Just like the city in Australia.)

    If you thought the replies in this post were harsh, good luck venturing out to the rest of the boards.

    I actually kind of like it. I think it would be a sweet name on the right person but not everyone could pull it off.

    My little girl's name is Sydney (spelled with the 2 y's) and since it is unisex, we used Rose as a middle name to make it more feminine as a whole. We really like the name and it fits her sooooo well! Good Luck with your decision!!

    I love it, but also prefer Sydney. For me, it's because Sidney is a town nearby, so I would avoid that spelling!

    I like it, and I prefer it spelled Sidney.  I've known plenty of girls with the name, and I've never seen it with y's.

    My grandfather's name was Sidney.  If we end up having all girls, our plan is to name the last one after him.

    I think the kid/parents need the right personality to pull it off.

    I'm not a fan personally, but it's my neice's name. Something my SIL would so totally pick and it fits my neice big time.

    She's also called Sid a lot so take that into consideration if it bothers you.

    It's normal, spelled right, pronounceable etc. Nothing wrong with it at all.

    NMS, but it works.  I have a niece named Sidney and a friend of my mine just named her daughter Sydney.  I really dislike the nn "Sid" though.
